Getting there
Where you meet her
The Day Boat departs from Mosman, near the Spit Bridge. Paid parking is usually available close by, with free parking about a five-minute walk away on Pearl Bay Road. We meet you at the boat, run through the controls, the harbour map and the safety gear, and stay with you until you’re comfortable.
The whole of Sydney Harbour is open to you — you just can’t head outside Sydney Heads.
Good to know
Common questions
Do I need a licence?
No. No licence is needed for this boat. You drive it yourself after a full briefing on the day — no test and no paperwork.
How many people can come?
Up to 6 guests.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes — this boat is pet-friendly. Just let us know when you book.
What if it rains?
There is a full canopy with sides and an inside cabin with seating, so light rain rarely stops a trip.
Can we swim?
Yes. There is a swim ladder off the back and dozens of sheltered spots to anchor.
Can we bring our own food and drinks?
Yes, and there is no BYO fee. There is a lunch table on board.
Where does it depart from?
Mosman, near the Spit Bridge.
How long is a full day?
6.5 hours over summer and 5 hours over winter, because of the shorter daylight.
